Time to bring back an old staple – Tuesday Tantrums. In this episode, I’ll start blasting away on
ten things:
- Antonio Brown saying he’s done playing in the NFL, I say call his bluff. Dude wants to do whatever he wants and is willing to get rid of a whole bunch of money in the process, so let him go and live his life because it appears as if Social Media is more important to him than anything else including playing football and behaving professionally. Oh, and calling out others for their shit? That ought to go over well with all the other players in the league.
- I am an unapologetic hater of all things Lower Alabama (err, Los Angeles). How in the hell did the Lambs walk out of Cleveland last night with a win? Well quite frankly because their defense was great. Pass rush was on point, the secondary was on lockdown of Cleveland receivers, and they shut down the run in the second half. Might have been time to get Mayfield to start running/going mobile with the ball. Cleveland on 4th and 9 with nine minutes left in the game you call a draw? Jesus, have Baker Mayfield run the ball on a bootleg, you would have had a better chance.
- Tampa let the New York Giants off the hook 32-31
based in part on taking a delay of game penalty because their kicker can make
deeper kicks? So they went from 29 to 34
yards and the kicker STILL missed.
What’s next taking five delay of games so the kicker can hit from 54-59
yards? C’mon man…
- The University of Miss-again was just horrific against Bucky Badger who often struggles in big games. The shine has come off the Khaki Warrior known as Jim Harbaugh. With Blow-hio State owning the Big Ten, it’s hard to get too upset, but then again, Miss-again had to go to double OT to beat Army at home (coming off of a bye week)? Can you imagine what the Suckeyes are going to do to them in the Big House in November?
- The mighty SEC. Already boasting about getting two teams into the playoffs and yet the losses of the lesser teams in the SEC are staggering. Arkansas loses to San Jose State? Cal goes in and punks Ole Miss? I don’t want to hear about how “tough” the SEC is. For every Florida, Auburn, Georgia, Alabama, and LSU there are just as many shitty teams. While I’m bashing the SEC, #4 LSU win big, but gave up 38 points to Vanderbilt?
- Hey ACC, you’re not above criticism – what the hell was Clemson doing playing Charlotte – IN WEEK FOUR???
- If nothing else, it appears that the Pac-12
just eats its own, this conference plays some entertaining football and because they are competitive from top to bottom, quality teams miss out on the playoffs. Cal and Arizona State have risen, Stanford
has fallen, and the north is looking like a Washington/Oregon battle. I love high scoring games, but what the hell
was that up in Pullman? Every time I
think Wazzu is going to rise up, I see a clown team like UCLA score 67
points?
- In the MLB, I’m liking this AL Wild Card race. It seems like its going to come down to Tampa and Cleveland for the #2 AL Wild Card spot. Tampa gets the Stankees and Toronto on the road, while Cleveland draws the Chicago White Sox and Washington on the road. As they are currently tied, you want to think advantage Cleveland. Meanwhile, AL WC#1 (Oakland) isn’t out of the woods just yet – they draw Anaheim down there, and end the season in Seattle. Oakland can’t afford to take things lightly – the Mariners are playing some good ball to end the season.
- I hate the Stankees, but damn if they didn’t
pull 102 wins this season with a week to go with a metric butt ton of
injuries. It sucks to say this but props
to them. That being said, they can’t let
up as Houston also has 102 wins and that is a solid battle for home field
advantage. Let’s go Houston. Both are pretty much even records at home
and on the road.
- So I’m reading Barstool this morning, and I’m having trouble reading this blog written by somebody named “Chief.” Apparently in Portland there is a shitty problem - the city removed 3,300 gallons of human waste from the streets in the past year. Last year I went to Portland – a city I always wanted to check out, and oh my God downtown was horrific. Like Chief said, it’s tough trying to tiptoe around poop while not getting smashed by Antifa. Don’t get me wrong, everywhere around downtown appeared to be nice, but what I saw downtown soured me on Portland.
Douchebag of the Week. Yeah, I think this one is pretty easy, Antonio Brown, come on down.
With all the negativity in the world, we often forget about the positives, and to me, the beginning of Fall. The weather changes, the festivals and celebrations, and the family get togethers. To me, it's pretty awesome.
